I loving hate idiots like this. You don't need to add more technology to a design problem, you need to design mechanical levers so they don't seize during cold weather. Also gently caress Teslas, beyond just the fact that they are cars.

I believe it was a video showing someone using a blow dryer to thaw up their Tesla door handle enough to open. At least based on the context and some other Internet chatter.

Edit: yup!

lol this experience is so real. almost my first time ever driving anything bigger than a sedan and I also had my car towed behind it as I drove cross country for ten hours. loving nerve wracking but it was the cheapest possible option

nothing happened tho aside from me taking a nap on the side of the road when I felt I was too tired to safely continue driving. doubt I would ever willingly do it again though

I've had two walking-speed collisions with my foot on the brake pedal. one was at a highway on ramp with a light where I got bored and was inching forward to pass the time, I don't remember why. I zoned out a little and lightly nudged the back of the truck in front of me. eyebrows flew up, guy turned to look at me through his rear window, then drove off.

2nd time was entering a traffic circle. I turned my head to check oncoming traffic from the highway exit ramp to my left, easing forward at the same time, lady in front of me didn't budge even though it was clear, I lightly tapped her. naturally, she filed a police report and sued

dude i reall think you should look where youre going when youre driving

I have to SMOG when I merge lanes. Unless you think it's safer to gun it blind into oncoming highway traffic

Just thinking about that reporter getting hit by the car on camera and thinking nothing of it. Imagine if it was a train, the operating company (at least in the UK) would be doing a full investigation, establishing root causes, making recommendations. He'll they'd do that even if it was a near miss!

do it. i had a blast and it's very easy. you honestly dont even to plan around trains, just go to a station and buy a ticket and hop on the next train. it's not like an airplane where you gotta be at it by 7pm sharp so you have enough time to get through security and get onboard at 10pm

I'm listening to this zoom call about a proposal to make a highway safer and some dumbass chud is posting poo poo in chat like

"If speed limit is reduced by 50%won't air pollution double?"

*someone mentions statistics about people getting hurt or killed trying to cross*

"I haven't had a problem crossing on a bike"

"how will this affect (mentions area in the suburbs lol)"

I can imagine that lawyer couple emerging from that thing in pink polos still holding their guns wrong.

Also in a real apocalypse making a bunch of noise just means "Come shoot me". Your perceived invincibility from BIG TRUCK is negated when you find out the doors are sheet metal like any other car and don't really stop most kinds of bullets.

In all seriousness, the series of grave mistakes you have to loving make as a driver to cause a collision with a train are just unfathomable to me. It's a drat shame any of the drivers survive because these are the exact idiots most likely to murder pedestrians. The meme responses to the Herald's assbackwards tweets are pretty good.

To end on a positive note, it's worth noting that the Netherlands, often hailed as a cycling Mecca, was not always such. Early initiatives saw scumbags in cars literally fighting to retain their privileges (and awesome people fighting back):

I'm sure that it has nothing to do with the age of the average driver in Florida.

Agree about driver stupidity, but the lack of grade separation in urban areas is kind of dumb. If the USA was actually capable of building infrastructure you could bury the tracks in cities (or maybe raise them in Florida's case) like every other wealthy country
